Bug#311820: ioctl(fd, SIOCGMIIPHY,...) causes hard freeze before first ifconfig up

[Jurij Smakov <jurij@wooyd.org>]

Hi Marcin,

There is an upstream bug describing the same problem:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5624

I've checked that the 2.6.16 kernel which is currently in unstable 
contains the fix to the b44 driver described there. I'd appreciate if 
you could test it and close the bug if it works.

Thanks,
